I think if you could arrange it so it needed a bit more thought and was slower-paced rather than this fixed speed and 'on rails' it would be awesome."},{"author_name":"Kelly Thomas","author_uid":"6664","time":"Dec 24, 2011 @ 4:54pm","epoch":1324745340,"text":"nice challenge, though a bit intimidating."},{"author_name":"ziomorti","author_uid":"7388","time":"Dec 24, 2011 @ 11:20pm","epoch":1324768500,"text":"Nice original entry here and I really appreciated your view of the theme.

Your Body has no control over his actions so you must follow him through the level and turn off traps that would kill your Body without your help.\r\nThere's also enemies\/traps that you have to avoid at the same time while making sure you keep your Body alive so you can be together once again!\r\n\r\nCreated with XNA 4.0 so you'll need the Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0 to run it: http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/download\/en\/details.aspx?id=20914\r\nArtwork: Paint.net\r\nSounds: SFXR\/BFXR\r\n\r\nYou can watch a playthrough here but it'll give away how to beat the game if you watch it! http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7s84pb5aWg4<\/p>","title":"Shadow"}
